N188FJ

This airframe, registered as N188FJ, is a Dassault-Breguet Falcon 50 built in 1988 with manufacturer serial number 188. The aircraft is recorded as owned by RAVIATION 2 LLC, an LLC based in Helena, MT, US, and is operated under a United States registration. The Falcon 50 airframe has the typical executive appearance and mid-life market valuation, with an estimated value of $1,900,000 reflecting its age, three-engine configuration and installed equipment. Ownership by RAVIATION 2 LLC and its Montana base are the primary noted registry details for this specific airframe.

The cabin for this Falcon 50 is configured in a typical 8–10 passenger executive layout featuring a forward galley and an aft lavatory, and includes a three-seat convertible sofa in the rear for flexible seating or rest. Avionics are listed as a Collins Pro Line II fitment in line with common retrofit programs for this generation of business jet, supporting standard IFR operations and regional international routing. With a long-range capability of 3,080 nm and a cruise of 459 kts, typical missions for this airframe are transcontinental U.S. flights and short intercontinental sectors where runway performance and ETOPS-independent three-engine capability are valued. Based at the owner’s locale in Helena, MT, US, maintenance and support would typically follow Falcon-specific schedules for the Garrett TFE731 engines and Falcon airframe systems.

The Dassault-Breguet Falcon 50 family occupies a niche as a long-range, tri-jet business aircraft offering higher cruise speed and extended range compared with early light jets while delivering transcontinental capability. Competing models historically include mid-size long-range business jets; buyer demand for Falcon 50s is driven by operators seeking three-engine redundancy and performance at moderate acquisition cost. Maintenance and resale considerations for this 1988 airframe include ongoing TFE731 engine care, avionics retrofit potential (such as the Collins Pro Line II already noted), and market sensitivity to age-related corrosion and systems refurbishments, factors that influence the noted $1,900,000 valuation.
